Roso's is located on the 2nd floor of the Adirondack Bank Center. It's super cute and inviting inside. Theyre known for their catering, but you can also come in for a sit down breakfast/lunch or order out! I could tell this is a local favorite because the waitress knew the customers by name. Love it! I ordered the California Breakfast Sandwich which is eggs, spinach, tomatoes, onions, avocado, pesto served on your choice of bread. THIS SANDWICH was easily one of the most delicious breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. And I make a MEANNNNNNN breakfast sandwich. Go here! The prices are also great. I would definitely come back on my way through Utica.

The jerk chicken and chicken stew was $10 each and they gave you enough food for 2 people. I didn't receive my beef stew order and I wish they would have called me and asked me if I wanted something else. The jerk chicken had nice spices to it but it was a little on the dry side, even with the side of sauce they gave you to put over it. My husband ordered the chicken stew and he said it was really good. Overall I would order from there again.

There was some sort of drama between the two waitresses, who clearly didn't like each other. We had the less capable of the two as our server; she spent her time holding court at the "liar's table" so it was a challenge to get our food out completely or get timely coffee refills.

We sat ourselves per the signs directions. Our server had pep, personality & a quick sense of humor... I did not catch her name. Food coming out was a bit slow. Have patience. I was served quite possibly the fluffiest, lightest, tastiest FRESH & HOT vegetarian omelet ( no peppers sub onions ) a perfectly cooked hardy omelet. The cheese was a "3 cheese blend". The edges of this omelet were perfectly "crisped " cheeses. I highly recommend stoping by for an enjoyable omelet experience. Also, while this omelet was slow in delivery, the care, pride & love taken to create this were more then apparent, when this eye popping omelet was STILL steaming hot 10 minutes into dining in it. I eat slowly as well. Be PATIENT, take a look around the staff in hustling. Well worth the wait!! I would drive up here from Ithaca for a TRULY excellent breakfast! Worth the wait. Great waitstaff. Hustling ASS! You could hear the noises of a BUSY kitchen. Having been in the BOH for 30 years & an expieranced vendor you know those noises. HIGHLY reccommed. DO NOT BE IN A RUSH , (we ate on a Sunday around 11:30 AM we were sat. Everything is cooked to order, Awesome vegetarian options! Just remember ITS THE WEEKEND. R e l a x! And enjoy a great breakfast. The french toast special looked awesome! As did the pancake special! EAT HERE.

This place is tucked in the corner of an old downtown building in Utica which adds to its charm. They serve lunch daily until 2pm

I got the Carnivore Platter, which is beef, lamb, and chicken kababs with rice, pita, salad, hummus, white sauce, and hot sauce.

The rice and peas were cooked well, the chicken fell off the bone and the cabbage was nice and tender, but the seasoning tho...it was on point! I do wish there was more carrots and potatoes in the dish because they soak up all that flavor The menu has all the staples Caribbean cuisine like Ox tail, saltfish, cocobread and curry. The portion size for each dish will easily be a shareable or enough for a full meal of leftovers. The customer service was great and the food was made quickly and packaged with care. No mess in the car seat! This is a amazing find in Utica and a must go if you love Caribbean food.

Ordered the premium app - Buratta, Then the early bird specials(3:00 to 5:30) -Fettuccine Alfredo and Alpine grilled chicken.

Excellent value and food was tasty. Decor outdated, who cares, it adds charm to the experience. Will return when we are in the area again.
